The street has seen various ownerships and uses over time. Originally housing an electronics factory known as Always, the building at Nademlejnská 600/1 now accommodates a fitness center, a restaurant, and a preschool. This transformation highlights the adaptive reuse of industrial spaces in response to changing urban needs.
Key events associated with Nademlejnská include its establishment in 1925 and renaming during the Nazi occupation. These historical markers underscore the street's resilience and adaptability through different political regimes and economic conditions.

Nademlejnská is a street in the Prague Hloubětín district, in Prague 9. It begins at Poděbradská and ends in a dead end. The street K Náhonu leads into it. On a map, it resembles an axially inverted letter L.
The street got its name from its location above the Rokytka stream, not far from Kejř's mill. The street was created and named in 1925. However, the original official name was Nademlýnská. During the Nazi occupation, from 1940 to 1945, it bore the German name Obermühlstraße.
The western and northern side of the street is formed by former industrial areas. The most interesting of them is the building with address number 600, which was home to the Always electrotechnical factory. It was built in the years 1938 to 1941 by Miroslav Smlsal's company for Otto Stuhlhofer, according to a design by architect Josef Oldřich Schüller. The building is originally functionalist, but combines elements of art deco and streamline architecture from the nineteen thirties. Today it houses a kindergarten, a fitness center, and a restaurant called U dvou smrků.
On the eastern and southern side, apartment buildings sprang up in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The tallest of them is the sixteen-story apartment building Nademlejnská from 2010 to 2012. Next to it stand the complexes Kejřův park and Kejřův park 2. They consist of four to five-story houses whose apartments have a balcony or a garden. There is also another kindergarten in the street.
